Allein Maliksi made up for sub-par performances in the last three matches as he shared topscoring honors with Chris Newsome in Game 5 to push Meralco on the brink of its maiden title in the PBA.
Allein Maliksi dropped 22 points as he nailed 10 of his 17 attempts to help lift Meralco to a 92-88 victory over San Miguel for a pivotal 3-2 edge in the best-of-seven PBA Philippine Cup finals on Friday, June 14.
Maliksi atoned for his woeful 8.33 scoring average in Games 2 to 4 where he only shot 28 percent from the field.
